By GlobalDataPetrofac and Sonatrach’s Algerian Petroleum Institute (IAP) also signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to upgrade training schools, provide competence management solutions for local engineers, and build more facilities.
The partnership seeks to strengthen the ‘local capability in support of Algeria’s nationalisation objectives’.
The MoU also requires the partners to launch e-learning resources and introduce operations and maintenance training programmes for the benefit of local and regional markets.
Petrofac Algeria country manager Manish Bhojwani said: “Petrofac has deep roots in Algeria, supporting the development of critical energy infrastructure and training the workforce of tomorrow.
“Our partnership with IAP will enable us to share our knowledge and expertise across the local supply chain as it seeks to develop its capability and capacity.
“I look forward to seeing this in action through our delivery of Tinrhert EPC2 with GCB and Petrofac’s participation in other future developments in Algeria.”
